Pam GillisIt is customary in the South to shower brides when they are engaged to be married. We can “put on the dog” when it comes to celebrating an upcoming wedding in a setting with plenty of finger foods, punch and the such. Years ago you were given a corsage to wear, play silly games and pass all the gifts around for everyone attending to “ooh and aah” over. One particular shower that I had was at the home of Ms. Minnie Vickers. I only knew Ms. Minnie for a short period of time but she was truly a Southern Belle and a great cook. Gifts were graciously given to us that day but what I still relish the most are the sweet, handwritten recipes that I received. They were written out on small index cards or on a piece of paper with their names. Believe it or not, after almost 44 years of marriage, I still have most of those recipes saved in their original form. Most of these women are gone on to their heavenly home now but their talents with food and their graciousness lives on.

 

The recipe I’ve prepared this week is one of those precious recipes. While browsing through my disorganized mess of recipes, this one grabbed my attention. It is one of the best brownie recipes ever! I guarantee you they will not last long!

Enjoy this beautiful weather!
